#1 Screw IRAN

US HAS MANY Hidden Price Hikes!
Next time you pick up a can of something, look at the label for its NEW size.

Here in the USA, you might notice a lot of suppliers have moved away from 16 oz cans and/or started to 15.25 to 15.75 OZ. for fill levels. A 6.5+% increase for a still priced $1 can of whole corn. Some have increased the price to $1.19 for a can of whole kernel corn, or 7.8% more $$.

The 2 major brands of Coffee in Sam's club both have reduced size amounts. 48 OZ is now 41.5 OZ and the price is about $1.20 more also.

So some vendors are putting less in theirs cans, some
made "New and Improved" packaging and etc...

Some stores have switched from price per LBS, to Price per OZ to throw you off.

We restocked Pink Canned Salmon, great for Fried Fish Cakes, this past weekend. The price has gone from $2.75 a can to $4.79 (the new normal).

We caught a limited special at our KJ's Supermarket at 2 for $6 and bought 10 cans (Best By Date 9/2026).

Some of y'all might remember, during the Pandemic, Coke was going 5x 6 packs for $10. It now is 4 for $11 and the Best by Date was less 40 days out????

So Again I say Screw IRAN, we have our own problems.
But their problem is similar to ours. It is called
Political Leaders dabbling in economy management.

BTW: I should mention that IRAN's Leaders seem to have plenty of $$$$$$$$ to spend on developing Nuclear Weapons, according to the Biden Coup and Deep State.

Like all countries ruled by a heavy hand.
Starving people are incidental issues when you rule by the sword and restrict their freedoms and rights.

#4 Shut down the internet and implement wage and price controls. That should work! You will eventually have to shoot some protesters but it's not like you haven't done that before.

BTW, how is that Islamic Revolution working out for you? Asking for a friend with a long memory.
